Read our information on managing your diet with pancreatic cancer
This information is for people with pancreatic cancer and their loved ones. It explains digestive symptoms you may experience, how to manage these and who can help.
About this webinar:
Food plays an important part in all our lives. But what can you eat when you have pancreatic cancer, and how can you find information you can trust about diet and symptoms?
Whether you’ve been diagnosed yourself, or are supporting a loved one, we’re here to offer information and support. Catch up on this session to hear from Lisa Woodrow, one of our specialist nurses and expert dietitian, Anisah Begum, who together speak to thousands of people affected by pancreatic cancer like you each year.
What we talked about:
- Common symptoms linked to diet and digestion.
- Why these symptoms happen, tips to help you manage them and foods to eat or avoid.
- Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT), or Creon. You’ll find out what this is, who needs it, and how to take it. We’ll also give an update on any supply issues and what you can do.
- Where you can find more information and support– including how to find information that’s accurate and that you can trust.
